If one is seeking a source to provide a healthy understanding of Abraham Kuyper's contributions to Reformed theology and to the political developments of late 19th century Holland, James McGolderick may have written just the right book. I came away from the book with a much better grasp of the cultural and political roots of my own denomination and others that flow downstream from the mind and tireless efforts of this great Calvinist genius. However, for a full-orbed biography of Abraham Kuyper, the man, one will have to look elsewhere. Very little attention is paid to his personal life outside of church and state matters, almost nothing about his married and family life and I found it grievously frustrating that the author barely teased the reader about the nature of Kuyper's mental breakdown which led to his retreat from public office for a number of years. Nevertheless, I found the book quite helpfull as a guide to understanding one of the greatest influences on modern Reformed faith and practise. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
A journalist ... a theologian ... a pastor ... a prime minister few people can boast of having such dimensions to their careers! Yet such was the remarkable life of Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920), who played a major role in helping modern Christians to develop a consistently biblical and practical worldview, not only in his native country of the Netherlands, but throughout much of the world. All of life belongs to God. In Kuypers own words, No single piece of our mental world is to be hermetically sealed off from the rest, and there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: Mine!
